fat-boy-glottis Posted April 8, 2002 Posted April 8, 2002 Wot wuld u say? who wuld win We think dat Monkey Island wuld win marginly!! But Broken Sword 1 + 2 were prob bttr dan MI4!
James Isaac Posted May 9, 2003 Posted May 9, 2003 I didn't like the interface on Broken Sword. And I stopped playing Broken Sword 1 quite near the end for about a year, then when I got back to it, the story was so complicated that I was confused about what I was actually trying to do. (And if you haven't guessed, I voted for MI)
SamNMax Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 I havn't finished Brocken Sword 1 yet. But I know MI's better.
Gabez Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 I prefer MI, yes, but it's note entirely fair to compare them both like that. They're quite different really.
Bigsize Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 i think that's a tricky question... i mean bs is a more logic and realistic game and mi is more of a wacky quests game ... but i prefere mi of course !
Wazo16 Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 I prefer Monkey island myslef more funny and better game puzzles
[bs25]MrKaese Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 Hi, i prefer Monkey Island aswell, BUT i like Broken Sword aswell, just because i'am working at an inofficial sequel to it. Broken Sword 2.5 - Return of the Templars http://www.brokensword25.com greetz Cheesie
James Isaac Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 I have seen the website for Broken Sword 2.5, that looks soooo good!
Aranolorion Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 imho, its like comparing chalk and cheese. why would you do that??? but as it stands, i prefer Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars, to all adventure games bar Grim Fandango...
HIM-island Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 i prefer bs over mi 1 & 2 because it's just more replay ,like i played out bs shadow of the templars on the gba out probably 5 times because it has just really good replay when i played mi 1 and 2 i played it only once .The humor in bs is better though i prefer mi3 and 4 over bs .
Mentat88 Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 I haven't played BS yet. However, it really should be no contest I grew up with monkey island, I'll die with monkey island.
Demon Chuckie Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Monkey Island is my life. so yeah... I just prefer comedy. but yeah BS is good too and BS3 looks good as it should be more action orientated.
Demon Chuckie Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 It's not suprising That Monkey Island is leading seeing as THIS IS A MOKEY ISLAND FORUM!
Griever629 Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 Whats Broken Sword? Never heard of it... Ahh but Monkey Island be the game for me laddies.
sea_cucumber Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Monkey Island!!! But if you make another poll about Monkey Island 4 and SYBERIA I'd choose SYBERIA. It's just better.
Cutthroat_Nick Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 How could anyone think that broken sword is better than Monkey Island! Its insane! I'm loosing my mind! Its incredable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carlius Posted July 19, 2003 Posted July 19, 2003 It depends which of the games you are comparing. If it is MI 1, MI 2 and CMI vs BS1 and BS 2, the Monkey Island series win. If it is between EMI and the BS series I would go with the BS series. BS1 is extremely good, the second one is like EMI for the MI series.
Governor Phatt Posted July 19, 2003 Posted July 19, 2003 I refuse to vote in this poll, cos quite frankly id feel cheap whichever one i pick. I love both games loads, but i could never pick one, its like picking ur favourite child lol, or at least it is for people who love broken sword...... Or is it just me...? ¬¬
A_Denial Posted August 23, 2003 Posted August 23, 2003 I didn't actually play Broken Sword and it's sequel until 2 years ago, having played Monkey Island games a long time before that. So, I believe that both games are good, but I was a lot less fresh playing Broken Sword, than Monkey Island. Added to this, I have grown up with Monkey Island, it has a better storyline in my opinion, not to say Broken Sword's is bad, because it certainly is not, I think it is a great story. Monkey Island is like a part of my life, whereas Broken Sword is merely an experience in my life, in a way. Basically what I am saying is, that Broken Sword is excellent, just not AS excellent as Monkey Island, so Monkey Island wins in my opinion.
Bushmeister Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 As you're posting this on an MI forum, I'm not too surprised with the current answer but would have to agree that I prefer MI to BS, by a significant margin (although GF is probably the best).
nelsonjr Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 to all of you who have posted about the Broken Sword Games, which version do you have? I can only find the playstation and GBA versions. I can't find the PC version anywhere (is there a PC version?). Also, which version is the best, because I want to get the BS games.
HIM-island Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 i had bs 3 the shadow of the templars on the gba ,but there's also a bs shadow of the templars on the pc.It's an old version and it's only to be found on ebay.
Gabez Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 Speaking of which... SOMI on the GBA? Yes please! Go on LucasArts. You know you want to.
Bushmeister Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 That would indeed rock the house, what would be even better would be if LucasArts had the eternal wisdom to convert their 2D adventure portfolio over to GBA, I would buy the lot of them all over again I can tell you that, and I bet a lot of other people would too, not just nostalgists but possible new fans also.
